Other programs working as expect doesn't mean certain ones will. I've been
trying to get confirmation that Works is actually Ink aware. The program
itself does need to identify itself with context sensitive coding as a text
input area. If it doesn't already, perhaps we need a service pack for Works
to enable it if Microsoft wants to support that function. I'll let you know
if I hear anything.
